Jim, your option will work for me, but I will need to create a new door symbol as your door is different from mine. This will work for not, but it would be nice to see the hooks in the plan view and 3D view. Maybe this should be a new "Feature" to be added into the program.

glenw, Neither works correctly. Door locks only allow height of object, you can not move in from edge, nor can you move hooks closer to door, as the object shows the over door portion.

I would like to have the "Over-the-Door Hook" item from "Home Essential No. 2 Cleaning and Air" from the Bonus Catalog be actually attached to a standard door, so it can be displayed on either a closed or an open door. Can any one point me to a method to "attach" this item to and standard hinged door? Thanks Patrick Shoaf pshoaf@midmon.net

I am using Chief Architect X14, I am unfamiliar with open its dbx? I can get the the line length in full size inches, but not display it so as a dimension line with both dimensions so I can print it.

I got the information from Google where in HO Scale 1/7" = 1'. Thanks for the update. I will change my HO Scale dimension to 1" = 87".

I now have 90% of what I need to create the HO model. I used the print option with 1/7" = 1' to print full HO Size elevations. I used the Secondary Format with new " HO Scale dimension to see actual sizes, so I have both Full Scale dimensions and HO Scale Dimensions on the printout. I am now missing 1 component, how can I get the "Roof Plane" dimension for a hip roof? In Glennw's post regarding the "Print Model" in X10, it shows the roof planes. I can not find a way to show the roof planes with actual dimensions. Is this possible?

Got it. This works perfectly. THANKS

Can both the feet & scaled " be shown on the dimension lines? 1 above and 1 below?

I like HO Railroads. I am getting started on a new layout and want to build HO Scale Houses and buildings. I figured I could create the building plan with Chief Architect and print the elevations with Scale Dimensions to use for cutting and building the scale model. I have created the first building, was able to set the print scale for HO (1/7" = 1') and print a "Full Size" elevation that I can use a ruler to get measurements from, or use as a template and cut printout and balsa wood together. Can anyone give me any ideas on how to show scale dimensions? Ex house is 50' wide, HO Scale would be 7.14". a 7' high Door would be 1" high on HO Scale model. I have attached the 1st plan file Basic 50x4 Duplex.plan

Yes, I will. I have been going through various training videos and learning. I have A LOT to learn. The Shelf option was exactly the look I wanted in this instance. Thanks again for your help.

Thanks everyone for the help. For now I am using the simplest option of a "Shelf" and setting the appropriate height. The "Shelf" is just above the stair landing and below the window. So will work just fine.

I added a cap to the room molding, but it is sitting at "floor" height, and I can not move it down to top of basement floor wall.

Where do I place the molding? (I am using Chief Architect x13) I tried adding a cap under Wall Specifcation/Wall Cap, but I can't figure out how to get it only on part of the concrete and interior section of wall.

I have a question on creating wall caps. I have a plan with 12" Concrete Wall w/ 2" interior drywall for the basement exterior walls. The 1st floor has 6" Siding exterior walls. I have a U-Shaped stairs from basement to 1st floor in back left corner. I want to place a wall cap over exposed basement wall where basement meets 1st floor in stair well. How do I handle this? I can't find in documentation anywhere. Sample 3D Picture with red arrow where I want "wall cap".
